TL;DR
Vaporeon ex SAR (205/187) from Terastal Festival ex costs ¥12,800 to ¥13,000 in a PSA 10 slab today — five slabs inside a ¥200 band — with no PSA 9 in stock and raw copies at ¥5,999–¥6,000. The cheapest slab is 2.1× the cheapest raw. A settled market at both ends.
- Cheapest PSA 10: ¥12,800 (US$88.32), two card-shop copies on Mercari; three more at exactly ¥13,000.
- No PSA 9 in stock — thirty-six PSA 10 slabs and nothing below.
- Raw copies: ¥5,999 with damage noted, ¥6,000 unused twice, both with authentication available.
- Thirty-one raws in stock — plenty of clean copies at the ¥6,000 line.
As of September 2026, the Terastal Festival ex Vaporeon ex special art rare is the tidiest market in this series: five PSA 10s between ¥12,800 and ¥13,000, and raws that have converged on ¥6,000.

The figures are listed prices, not sold prices: each was read from the live item page for that Vaporeon ex copy on 2026-09-20, with USD as the item page’s own checkout conversion. Everything shown is the Japanese-language print of the Pokémon TCG[5]. Condition is the seller’s Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field, translated; Suruga-ya is shop stock with no condition field. Seller titles are Japanese, and the tiles further down open each listing. Mercari allows overseas purchases only through partner proxy services[3].
The two ¥12,800 slabs are from the same Mercari card-shop account, listed with serial numbers; the next three — one Mercari with authentication, two Yahoo! Flea Market — are all ¥13,000. Five sellers inside ¥200 is the market speaking. Raw copies are ¥5,999 with a damage note that points to the description, and two unused copies at ¥6,000 with authentication available. Take the ¥6,000 ones; the ¥1 saving on the damaged copy is not a saving.

Scope: Japanese Vaporeon ex 205/187 (Terastal Festival ex high-class pack). The English-language print of this illustration has a different collector number and set name and is priced in a separate market, so the figures here do not transfer[5]. Promo copies and full-art variants from other sets are likewise different cards — the number on the PSA label is what to match.
Vaporeon ex PSA 10 value: is the slab worth 2.13× a raw copy?
A 2.1× multiple with a ¥6,801 gap is the standard premium for a Terastal Festival Eeveelution with a ¥6,000 raw floor. No PSA 9 in stock means no reference for a miss, which — combined with a raw price that is already half the slab — makes self-submission a weak bet: the upside is ¥6,801 minus fees, the downside is an unpriced 9. PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6] does not change; buying the ¥12,800 finished slab is the efficient route.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥12,800 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥5,999 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy a raw copy that offers Mercari authentication | raw price + ¥1,700 | Authentication[1] is seller-enabled; the cheapest raw listing today does not offer it, so compare the next ones in the table above. |
Buy a ¥12,800 slab for the grade; the ¥13,000 Mercari copy adds the authentication option if you value it on the transaction. For the binder, either ¥6,000 unused raw with Mercari authentication[1] (¥7,700 all-in).
How to buy Vaporeon ex SAR 205/187 from Japan
Whether you order the card-shop slab or a private raw, the process from Japan is the same. The steps:
- Step 1 — Pick the copy, not the average. Use the table above: the cheapest in-stock PSA 10 today is ¥12,800; anything above the range there is paying for a seller’s optimism.
- Step 2 — Order through OneMall. Click the tile, add to cart, and a Japan-side team places the Mercari order for you — sellers who write 海外発送不可 (no overseas shipping) still ship because the address is a Tokyo warehouse.
- Step 3 — Optional Mercari authentication. Raw copies that show the authentication option can be checked for +¥1,700[1][2]; for a PSA slab the label already does that job.
- Step 4 — First payment, then wait for arrival photos. Ask for unboxing photos if you want to see the slab corners before it flies.
- Step 5 — Second payment for international shipping. A single slab is light; batch it with other cards inside the 90-day free storage window and pay one shipping fee.
